Boards - PPTQ Sec 49

When a board is empowered by its bylaws to act for a society between regular meetings, it is usually a (an)

• acting board

• general board

• executive board

• empowered board

Another name for the "executive board" is

• subordinate delegates

• board of directors

• executive committee

• special committee

If a society is to have an executive board, the bylaws should specify the number of board members and

• their duties and powers

• make provisions for meetings of the board

• how they are to be determined

In organizations that meet monthly or more often, a board is

• given all the power

• required to act for the society in all cases

• not given so much power

• required to meet before the monthly meeting

The society's assembly can countermand any action of the executive board except

• the action taken during a special meeting of the board

• It must first request from the board that it rescind its own action

• those matters placed by the bylaws exclusively under the control of the board

• that prior approval of the executive board is required

An ex-officio member of a board

• may be a nonmember of the society

• may be an appointed officer

• must be a member of the society

• must be an elected officer

A governor of a state who is an ex-officio board member of a private hospital

• should not be counted in determining a quorum

• must always attend meetings

• may not make motions

• may not vote

In ordinary societies having executive boards, it is customary for the

• society to elect a presiding officer to serve the board

• president and secretary of the society to serve in the same capacity within the board

• board to elect a nonmember to serve as a presiding officer

• board to delegate that certain members serve as officers

As a general principal, a board

• can meet informally to make decisions

• cannot appoint committees

• cannot delegate its authority

• can meet to make decisions without a quorum

In an organization where the board is large or its members must travel from a distance to meet, the bylaws can be established to form a "board within a board" or a (an)
